Savannah

Savannah, Georgia has long been known as a beautiful, historic southern city (and the step-sister to Charleston.) Today, Savannah is much more than southern charm and history, it feels electric. The city is expanding rapidly with new chic hotels, fantastic restaurants and hip rooftop bars. But if culture and history are your thing then Savannah delivers— visit several small-but-well-curated art & history museums, historic churches and even the first Jewish synagogue in the United States. It is reputed that during Sherman's March to the Sea, the General believed Savannah too beautiful to destroy and in turn presented the city to President Lincoln as a Christmas gift!

There’s never a bad time to visit Savannah, but we’ve found Georgia’s low country to be the perfect family retreat for ringing in the new year. It’s a destination made for slowing down, exploring Savannah’s cobblestoned squares, strolling the beaches of the Golden Isles and indulging in Southern comfort food. Great for a couple’s getaway or a multigeneration family vacation, you can truly choose your own adventure in Savannah.

Savannah and Charleston were major hubs of the antebellum plantation economy, with their prosperity built on the backs of enslaved labor. The first shots of the Civil War were fired at Fort Sumter in Charleston harbor in 1861, marking the start of the bloodiest conflict in American history. Touring sites like Fort Sumter brings this pivotal moment to life. Both cities were major battlegrounds and strategic targets during the Civil War, changing hands multiple times between Union and Confederate forces. Visiting these cities provides a tangible connection to that complex and troubling history. I recommend these places to my clients looking for charming cities, great food and a deeper understanding of America's history, the Civil War and slavery.
